Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final 145

CWmike writes "Mozilla has shipped a release candidate build of Firefox 3.6 that, barring problems, will become the final, finished version of the upgrade. Firefox 3.6 RC1, which followed a run of betas that started in early November, features nearly 100 bug fixes from the fifth beta that Mozilla issued Dec. 17. The fixes resolved numerous crash bugs, including one that brought down the browser when it was steered to Yahoo's front page. Another fix removed a small amount of code owned by Microsoft from Firefox. The code was pointed out by a Mozilla contributor, and after digging, another developer found the original Microsoft license agreement. 'Amusingly enough, it's actually really permissive. Really the only part that's problematic is the agreement to "include the copyright notice ... on your product label and as a part of the sign-on message for your software product,"' wrote Kyle Huey on Mozilla's Bugzilla. Even so, others working on the bug said the code needed to be replaced with Mozilla's own."

*smacks his forehead* Ok what makes this movie suck. Mr. Abrams needs to go hang himself since he "promised" it would stay in cannon. Well first off no cars are in Star Trek unless you're on the Gangster Planet from the TOS episode "A piece of the action." Secondly: Kirk and Spock never served together on the Enterprise until AFTER the episode "The Cage" according to cannon which was 13 years ago from the point of the episode "The Menagerie". I'm unsure when Kirk began his command on the Enterprise. I would assume at the beginning of the five year mission but I seriously can't remember, anyway. Robert April was the first Captain of the Enterprise, Christopher Pike was the second captain of the Enterprise and Captain James Tiberius Kirk was the Third Captain of the Enterprise. Spock was serving on the Enterprise with Captain Pike. While Kirk was on the Farragut if you recall the episode "Court Martial". So Brannon Braga ruined Star Trek with that evil third season of Enterprise and now we have Abrams to finish the job and finally kill the franchise. Braga and Abrams need to both do the world a favor and hang themselves and keep their filthy paws off of Star Trek.
